There are a number of differences in ADA services provisions as you enter the post-secondary education environment. Auburn Career Center follows the guidelines set forth by Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act that prohibits the discrimination on the basis of a disability. Based in the Office of Civil Rights all levels of education are required to provide academic “adjustments or accommodation based on individual’s documented “needs”. The responsibilities for post-secondary education differ significantly from K-12. Post-secondary education does not identify educational learning deficits and it is the student’s responsibility to self-disclose and provide the appropriate adult testing/diagnosis to the ADA office, (located in the Student Services Office). Section 504/Title II Rehabilitation Act 1973

It is highly suggested, before you begin your educational journey, that you contact the Office of Accessibility (ADA/Disabilities Services Office) regarding the Americans with Disabilities Act 1990 (ADA).
